We met with Dr. Swan on Monday and we really liked him. We had to wait about two hours but he spent more than an hour with Kirk. He did a thorough exam and asked as many questions as possible and even talked about running more of his own tests. Kirk will have his next chemo treatment on Monday at Dr. Swan's office and then Dr. Swan will run the tests he talked about just to see how things are doing. He talked about a PET Study which Kirk has never had.
Kirk continues to eat well, and he had gained about ten pounds since we have been home. He likes to go out daily and this weekend he plans on attending the benefit that the fire department is doing for him. We are continually amazed at the generosity of the people of our community. Debbie at the Florist is also doing ribbons in memory of the Tech deaths and taking donations for Kirk for the ribbons. We are so proud to live in Rural Retreat and Wythe County. What a giving community.
I will update again after Kirk's next chemo treatment. We are hoping that he can get through it without getting to sick. Please continue to keep him and the people involved in the Tech incident in your prayers. We never know what the future holds but with trust in God and the love of our neighbors, We will prevail!
Go Hokies!

I have been diagnosed with cancer. The cancer is of unknown primary which means they do not know where it originated. I have several tumors on the bone. I have be working with the Cleveland Cancer Center and an oncologist in Abingdon. This site is for my friends and family to see how I am doing each day. Thanks for checking in. I really appreciate everyone's prayers and concern. Thank you.

Kirk, it has been great to see you at the soccer games, the kids played great. I hope that Monday went well, I haven't heard, hopefully no news is good news. I'm sure you need some time to recover, but the healing continues. Good to hear that you've gained weight, you will need your strength. Your family, friends and community are glad to have you home!!!
